Dr. A on Technology Today Podcast

I was asked to be a guest on the Technology Today Podcast on Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 4pm Eastern Time. This show is hosted by Ajay Gupta who is a cyber security expert. And, each month on his show, he highlights the area of Health Information Technology. On the show's blog this week, they wrote the following post called "Is Social Media A Health Care Delivery System?"

Social media is a lot of things to a lot of people. Individuals use it to reconnect with old and make new friends. Businesses have certainly begun levering social media as an avenue to reach consumers. Can it really serve as a mechanism for the health care industry to deliver medical care?

Join us Thursday at 4pm Eastern on Business.VoiceAmerica.Com as we discuss this and look into how doctors are beginning to engage their own patients and even wider populations on sites such as facebook, twitter, YouTube and through individual blogs.

Dr. Michael Sevilla, of DoctorAnonymous fame joins the show to share his insights from over four years of activity in incorporating various forms of social media into his medical practice.
